National Lincoln Monument Association.
Association formed in Springfield, Ill. on May 11, 1865 in order to plan and carry out the construction of a monument for Abraham Lincoln, with Richard Oglesby as president, Clinton L. Conkling and Ozias M. Hatch as secretary and the Hon. Owen P. Miles in charge of funds collected. A competition for a design was held and the contract for the monument was awarded to Larkin G. Mead. In 1895 the monument and the grounds were given to the state of Illinois.
